J.R.'s Godfather

J.R. Ewing, of the 2-era spanning hit series Dallas, remains the all-time greatest villain in television history.

Unless you count C-SPAN as television...then this b**** wins.

J.R. was played by the great Larry Hagman, who died November 23, 2012. Every year television's Emmy Awards has a nice eulogy section for TV stars that passed in the previous calendar year. So on this year's "In Memoriam" segment they of course...didn't mention him at all.

WTF?

He was J.R. ****ing EWING!!!

The episode "Who Done It?", which revealed the answer to the worldwide question "Who shot J.R.?" was at it's time the highest-watched TV series episode EVER (and currently sits in second place to this day). Again, J.R. Ewing. I suppose they must have had a very good reason to not include the actor of the tube's most iconic villain, right?
